Preventive Dentistry in Suwanee, Cumming, GA
Prevent, Protect, Preserve Your Smile
At Smile Haven – Family & Cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Jina George, your family dentist, is committed to preserving lifelong smiles and believes prevention is the foundation of oral wellness.
Preventive dentistry focuses on taking proactive measures to prevent oral diseases from occurring or progressing. Our goal is to help you maintain excellent oral health by identifying any potential issues early on, saving you from discomfort and major treatments in the future.
Why Regular Dental Checkups Are Crucial
Regular dental exams are the cornerstone of preventive dentistry.
Regular preventive exams and professional cleanings can help to ensure optimal oral health. Through regular check-ups, we can monitor your oral health and identify any dental issues in its early stage, such as tooth decay, gum disease, or oral cancer.
Early detection is key in treating these problems effectively and preventing their progression. Poor dental health doesn’t just affect your mouth; it has been linked to other health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, respiratory disease and cancer, compromising overall well-being.
Routine Dental Exams
& Cleaning
At Smile Haven, our dental exams are designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of your teeth, gums, and mouth. We utilize advanced diagnostic tools and techniques to meticulously examine every aspect of your oral health.
During your dental exam, we will conduct a thorough evaluation taking xrays, photos and dental scans as needed, and perform a thorough professional teeth cleaning to eliminate any plaque biofilm and tartar buildup to promote optimal oral hygiene and preserve the health of your teeth and gums.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Oral cancer screenings are an important aspect of preventative dentistry. During these screenings, we carefully examine your oral tissues for any signs of abnormalities or changes that might be indicative of oral cancer. Detecting it early greatly enhances the chances of successful treatment, underscoring the significance of regular screenings. We’re here to ensure your oral health and well-being!

We’re here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Practicing Good Oral Hygiene at Home
Brush Daily
Brush your teeth twice a day, once in the morning and once before bed. Use a toothbrush with soft bristles and fluoride toothpaste. Brushing removes food particles and plaque from your teeth, and fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel.
Floss Regularly
Flossing at least once a day is crucial as it helps remove food and plaque from between your teeth and under the gumline where your toothbrush can’t reach.
Use Mouthwash
Using an antiseptic mouthwash can help kill bacteria that cause plaque and gum disease.
Eat a Balanced Diet
What you eat greatly impacts your dental health. Try to limit sugary and acidic foods and drinks, which can erode your tooth enamel. Instead, focus on consuming a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and dairy products.
Avoid Tobacco
Smoking and chewing tobacco can cause a multitude of oral health problems, including oral cancer. It’s best to avoid these harmful substances for your oral health and overall well-being.
